PAIN DROP
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Murata Yukio
Arrangement: The Mortal

When I start to cry
It's just the melancholic rain
Shiver in the afternoon, start to cry
Just the melancholic rain
The rain

Again tonight
Fall to pieces
Go so far to
Stick to me1

Yeah I'm falling alone
To the asphalt, and piercing through2
A scattering fall going helter skelter3
On the asphalt and piercing through

All through my flesh, dripping wet
On a night like this
All through my heart, turned to mush
On a night like this
Night like this
Keep on raining down, Pain! Pain! Pain! Pain!
Helter skelter fall

Feel like I've turned leaden grey
Just a sad sorry leaden grey
Shiver in the afternoon, start to cry
I'm turning sad sorry leaden grey

All through my flesh, dripping wet
On a night like this
All through my heart, turned to mush
On a night like this
Night like this

Again tonight
Fall to pieces
Go so far to
Stick to me
Again tonight
Fall to pieces
Go so far to
Stick to me

In the night sky after the rain
The moon's the color of a razor blade
Tomorrow will come...is there such a miracle? Really?
Go to sleep...go to sleep...shiver, then just go to sleep
Ah for some reason, ah I feel so...tired
From the tip of the crescent moon, so silently now, it beads and falls...
One drop
 

1) The Japanese word Sakurai used here is "betabeta," which could be translated literally as "wet and clinging" - it can refer to rain-soaked clothing clinging to one's skin, or to a love-struck admirer hanging on his/her beloved's every word.

2) "Uchinuku" literally means "shoot through," as with a gun. It's unclear whether Sakurai means that the body of the narrator is shooting through the asphalt, or the raindrops are shooting through the asphalt like bullets. The ambiguity is surely deliberate.

3) The word here, "tobichiru," means "to scatter in different directions." I translated it as "helter skelter" here in honor of Siouxsie Sioux, who loved to use that phrase in Banshees lyrics (the Banshees also recorded a cover of The Beatles' song "Helter Skelter.")

 

PAIN DROP
作詞：櫻井敦司
作曲：村田由紀夫
編曲：The Mortal

俺は泣き出す　ただ憂鬱な雨だ
午後に震えて泣き出す　ただ憂鬱な雨だ　雨だ

今夜もバラバラ　こんなにベタベタ

一人堕ちるぜ　アスファルト撃ち抜く
舞い散る様に飛び散る　アスファルト撃ち抜く

身体中がびしょ濡れの夜だ
こころ中がぐちゃぐちゃの夜だ　夜だ
降り注げ PAIN! PAIN! PAIN! PAIN!
飛び散るぜ

俺は鉛色　ただ憂鬱鉛色
午後に震えて泣き出す　俺　憂鬱鉛色

身体中がびしょ濡れの夜だ
こころ中がぐちゃぐちゃの夜だ　夜だ

今夜もバラバラ　こんなにベタベタ
今夜もバラバラ　こんなにベタベタ

雨上がりの夜空　カミソリ色の月
明日が来るなんて　そんな奇跡が　あるのかい　本当に
眠れよ　眠れよ　震えて　もう眠れよ
ああ何だか　ああとっても　眠くて
月の先端から　今静かに　零れ落ちる　一滴
